Kotcs Rucksack Washing/Odor Help

[Indywanabe91]

I recently bought one these but its got a pretty strong odor and its still there after washing it in my washing machine twice with cold water and letting it air dry. Are there any ideas as to how i can rid of this odor?

[Indywanabe91]

You make a valid point HAHA. And I think I'll do that. Do you think if leaving it in the sun will do more harm than good?

My grandma always said white vinegar gets the nasty smells out of things.(seriously) Maybe a vinegar bath in a bucket would help? Just trying to help.

Will it get a vinegar smell after I wash it

[Indyzane]

No. After the vinegar bath wash it in the washing machine and it should be odor free. Please take caution though!

Or mix in some oil, greens, onions, and tomato and have a MkVII salad!

Try a liberal sprinkling of baking soda. Place an entire box inside the bag and sprinkle the outside. Place it outside out of the sun and elements. The baking soda will help absorb some odor too.
